As documented in this older thread, [Set up reply by email with POP3 polling](https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-reply-by-email-with-pop3-polling/14003) 9 years later, It seems that Google is shutting down IMAP / POP with username:password authentication in favor of OAuth.
> - **Access to LSAs will be turned off for all Google Workspace accounts.** CalDAV, CardDAV, IMAP, POP and Google Sync will no longer work when signing in with just a password — you will need to [login with a more secure type of access called OAuth](https://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879).
[source](https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2023/09/winding-down-google-sync-and-less-secure-apps-support.html) Is there any work in the pipeline to change discurse to reply by email using OAuth before Google deadline?

Thanks for raising this Eric, this has also been raised earlier in [Add richer authentication support for POP3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-richer-authentication-support-for-pop3/219340) . We need to schedule in this work this year, otherwise these the POP3 polling as well as eventually [SMTP support for group inboxes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/smtp-support-for-group-inboxes/195572)
